Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 282: Dungeon (2)

If I obtained over 30,000 coins as well as several other rewards, they would attempt to claim credit for it, arguing that it was only because of their gift, namely the quest. But if I failed in the quest and disappeared like the others before me, they would still be satisfied.

Generally speaking, somebody who was absolutely strong was always not only the subject of others’ hatred, but also the target of their schemes.

After seeing the Indonesian guests off, I had lunch, then logged into Revival Legend.

Did I access the game because I wanted to investigate the quest the Novo Guild brought to me?

There were lots of people who would do so even if I didn’t.

Besides, I could check the results of their investigation after they were done.

So I moved to the Land of Titan and started hunting again.

A few days later.

When the deputy leader of the Novo Guild mentioned “they did not return”, it meant that the players who attempted the quest were dead. That’s why it took quite some time for our people to investigate the quest.

From time to time we contacted Indonesia’s Novo Guild to ask various questions.

And finally today, Director Sok decided to brief us about the investigation results.

Director Sok stood up and said, “First, we scrutinized the documents they brought us, then actually visited the place they mentioned. It was in Gorontalo, Indonesia, and people living there seemed to be disappearing one by one for a long time. It seemed that they thought monsters were responsible for the disappearances. However, while we were exploring there a while ago, we found a cave. This is the place in question.”

As soon as Director Sok finished talking, the entrance to a small cave appeared on the screen.

It looked normal at first glance.

Director Sok continued, “A message rings if you sit in front of this cave. It tells you to traverse the entire length of the cave and smash the cursed crystal at the end, adding that you will receive significant rewards, including 30,000 coins. Of course, we didn’t attempt it. As the Novo Guild said, no one who went inside has ever come out.”

“Are there any restrictions on entering the cave?”

My father asked when Director Sok finished talking.

Director Sok replied immediately, “Well, there are restrictions. Only those who have achieved at least 1% reality actualization can enter the cave. According to the Myongjin Guild’s Strategy Department, there is a high possibility that once inside the cave, only your reality actualization rate matters, not your capabilities within Revival Legend.”

Like he said, it certainly seemed so. That’s why all the members of the Novo Guild failed in the quest without any exception.

At that moment, I felt sorry for the Novo Guild because reaching even 1% reality actualization rate meant that they had reached level 1200, after all.

Losing such people was a huge loss for the Novo Guild.

Anyway, Director Sok continued briefing us a little more.

According to him, those who went inside the cave took communication devices and other equipment to communicate with the outside, but they failed to work.

And in the end, everybody turned their eyes to me because they knew who the Novo Guild had in mind when they decided to bring the quest to the Myongjin Guild. It was none other than mel.

‘Hmm…’

I was definitely going to reach level 1200 soon, so I just wanted to focus on hunting.

But 30,000 coins were too attractive for me to ignore.

Though I accumulated lots of coins until now, I would have no choice but to use up all the coins I currently had as soon as I reached level 1200. Then I would be short on coins like everyone else.

Besides, I had already seen a trait that could boost the reality actualization rate by 200%, 180%, 160%, 140% and 120%. So of course, I thought that 100% reality actualization rate might not be the maximum I could achieve with coins, even without a special trait

So, I had a lot of mixed feelings about the quest, but I finally made my decision.

“I won’t go.”

Of course, I was confident in clearing the quest. I was confident in overcoming any danger.

But, obviously, even if it was a 0.0001% chance, there was a minute possibility that the worst case scenario could occur, which would mean my death. So, I wondered if it was necessary for me to take the risk, even if it was very small, when I had such a bright future.

“Good decision,” said my father.

“Thank you for respecting the judgment of our Strategy Department,” said Director Sok.

Maybe my father and Director Sok were worried. And that’s why they responded like that.

Anyway, after I made up my mind, I went back to the Land of Titan and concentrated on hunting because I would soon reach level 1200.

One week later, all the important matters were wrapped up, so I was hunting comfortably day by day when I received an unusual report.

“What? The coins in the reward have increased to 60,000?”

I gave up the quest that Indonesia’s Novo Guild brought to me because, although I felt slightly sorry for giving up the 30,000 coins, I was not so greedy for it to challenge the quest. But I had no choice but to be puzzled by the fact that the reward increased to 60,000 coins. I had never seen a reward increase until now, so I became all the more curious.

But there were more surprises.

[It was also mentioned that there is only one week left for anybody to clear the quest. If nobody clears it by that time, the cave will self-destruct, and all those who have already entered the cave as well as those who were dragged into the cave will be killed.]

In other words, it meant that those who had entered the cave before could still be alive in there.

As a result, the Novo Guild who confirmed the message were so desperate to challenge the quest by all means, for there was nothing more important than the survival of those who had reached level 1200 and achieved a reality actualization rate, especially when they thought they were already dead.

[It seems that the guild leader of the Novo Guild is even coming here in person.]

In fact, the Novo Guild, who were pressed for time, had already begun to move.

***

At the level 1500 Land of Titan hunting ground.

“Ice Field.”

Pasasasak!

I didn’t bother to lay out Thin Ice because Ice Field was more than enough for my attacks.

And I used Pouring Hail and Blizzard on top of that.

Puck! Puck! Puck!

[Kheeeeeeeek!]

[Khuuuuuuuk!!]

I killed all the monsters only with such attacks.

I didn’t have to use any other skills to kill the highest level 1500 monster Titans here.

Then a message rang.
